How to Find SaaS Customers Before You Even Have a Product
“ How do I find a problem that would be perfect to solve with a SaaS? ”
YES! Now that’s a good question.
I come in contact with a lot of SaaS founders and business owners (or the wannabes) that ask the wrong questions. You can tell when their mindset isn’t in the right place.
Fixating on bad questions means pouring your mental energy down the drain and wondering why your business is flushing itself out to sea.
So when I hear someone ask an AWESOME question like this one, it makes me want to celebrate.
As a business coach and investor in 40+ startups, I’ve learned to spot the red flags of a business that’s going to struggle versus one that’ll take off like a rocket to the moon.
And without a doubt…
The size of the problem you solve determines your potential for growth.
(Ok, there’s a bit more to it than that.)
I want to help you choose a good business idea from the start, so let me show you my process for finding SaaS-solvable problems in this week’s video:

Over 2 years ago, I published a video on building a $100 MIL+ company in 3 years and my first point was: you’ve got to solve a really big problem.
Months ago I interviewed Toby from Shopify who became a billionaire because he found a really big problem and created a fantastic solution.
So if you want to get good at business…
Get good at finding problems first.
